Photosynthesis, a process catalysed by plants, algae and cyanobacteria converts sunlight to
energy thus sustaining all higher life on Earth. Two large membrane protein complexes …

X-ray free-electron lasers have opened up the possibility of structure determination of
protein crystals at room temperature, free of radiation damage. The femtosecond-duration …

Lipidic cubic phases (LCPs) have emerged as successful matrixes for the crystallization of
membrane proteins. Moreover, the viscous LCP also provides a highly effective delivery …

We report the development of a laboratory-based Rowland-circle monochromator that
incorporates a low power x-ray (bremsstrahlung) tube source, a spherically bent crystal …

Serial X-ray crystallography allows macromolecular structure determination at both X-ray
free electron lasers (XFELs) and, more recently, synchrotron sources. The time resolution for …

The emerging method of femtosecond crystallography (FX) may extend the diffraction
resolution accessible from small radiation-sensitive crystals and provides a means to …

Radiation damage induced by X-ray beams during macromolecular diffraction experiments
remains an issue of concern in structural biology. While advances in our understanding of …

The ferritin superfamily contains several protein groups that share a common fold and metal
coordinating ligands. The different groups utilize different dinuclear cofactors to perform a …

Higher throughput methods to mount and collect data from multiple small and radiation-
sensitive crystals are important to support challenging structural investigations using …

In situ experiments combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electrochemistry
have now become an indispensable tool for understanding the mechanisms of operation …
